RE: Ten Mile Costa Vida CUP H-2023-0018 May 19, 2023
Dear Ms. Hersh,
Valley Regional Transit has reviewed the request for CUP for Costa Vida. VRT currently operates
the Route 40 Nampa- Meridian Express and route 30-Pine on S Ten Mile Road next to the
proposed development. Given this area will continue to be developed as commercial space, a
bus stop would be beneficial to riders and businesses. As a result, VRT suggests the following:
1. A condition be included in the CUP, that requires a Standard bus stop (size small) with a
concrete pad 9'x10' be poured between the sidewalk and curb on S Ten Mile Road on or
near the site location prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy. The purpose of the
pad is to provide an ADA compliant boarding/alighting area. The concrete pad will allow
VRT to schedule a stop there as part of current and future route planning and move
amenities such as signage and a bench onsite in accordance with the Bus Stop Typology
Kit of Parts(page 21). BST KitOfParts.pdf(valleyregionaltransit.org)
2. A transit review application needs to be completed and returned to Valley Regional
Transit at least 45 days prior to the estimated construction date for review and
approval. A completed application will provide VRT the applicants contact information,
construction schedule and proposed pad location. There is no fee for the application at
this time. The application is found at the following link:
